Talking Pots | Nic Collins | Enormous Dishes

Made for a major UK exhibition, these dishes only just squeezed into his new anagama kiln with inches to spare and survived the five day wood firing needed to decorated these astonishing pots with ash.

Unfortunately, some of the surrounding pots weren’t so lucky, breaking during the firing and eventually becoming part of the surface of these large dishes. But Collins is very philosophical about it “This is all part of the story, this is what I love about wood firing”.

Watch the film to find out the full story!
